Ingredients
- 4-5 roma tomatoes
- 1.5 onions (small to medium)
- 3 garlic cloves
- 8 cups stock
- 1/3 lb. fideo noodles (or thin spaghetti)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano (optional)
- oil
- freshly chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Start by roasting 4-5 tomatoes in the oven at 400F for 20 minutes or so.
- Saute 1.5 roughly chopped onions and 3 whole, peeled garlic cloves in a dollop of oil over medium heat. When the onion starts to turn brown (approx. 6-8 minutes) add the mixture to a blender or food processor along with the roasted tomatoes. Combine well.
- Add the noodles to a saucepan along with a dollop of oil. Cook the noodles over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until some of them are turning darker brown. Add the tomato-onion mixture from the blender and combine well with the noodles. Let this mixture cook for a couple minutes and then add 8 cups of stock. (When using homemade stock, I usually add at least 1/2 teaspoon of salt and some freshly cracked black pepper at this point.)
- Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer and let it cook for 10-20 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked through.
- Take a final taste for seasoning, adding more salt if necessary. You can optionally add a pinch of Mexican oregano at this point.
- Serve immediately and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- If it's hard to find Fideo noodles in your local markets you can always use thin spaghetti cut into inch-long pieces.
- I prefer using homemade stock for this recipe.

- Keep in mind that store-bought stock is usually high in sodium so you might not need to add additional salt.
- You can also use this tomato-based broth to make Chicken Tortilla Soup and Albondigas Soup.
